Unexpected diversity in the host-generalist oribatid mite Paraleius leontonychus (Oribatida, Scheloribatidae) phoretic on Palearctic bark beetles [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Bark beetles are feared as pests in forestry but they also support a large number of other taxa that exploit the beetles and their galleries. Among arthropods, mites are the largest taxon associated with bark beetles. Many of these mites are phoretic and

Relationships between the fecundity of bark beetles and the presence of antagonists [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Although previous research has documented the occurrence of antagonists of bark beetles, the studies have only evaluated individual antagonists and have not assessed the overall effect of all antagonists on adult beetles.

The social context in bark beetle – fungus bioassays: a case study in European fir engraver bark beetles and their fungal associates [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyBackgroundCertain species of bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are among the most aggressive herbivorous forest insects due to their mass aggregation behavior and symbiosis with filamentous fungi.

Ophiostomatoid fungi associated with mites phoretic on bark beetles in Qinghai, China [PDF]
IMA Fungus, 2020 Bark beetle galleries are complex ecosystems where many microbes and other arthropods co-exist with the beetles. Fungi isolated from these galleries are often referred to as ‘beetle associates’, but the nature of these associations are poorly understood.
